Priyanka
Chopra
is
one
of
the
most
versatile
actresses
who
has
always
stepped
out
of
her
comfort
zone
and
experimented
with
her
roles.
At
a
time
when
most
leading
ladies
would
hesistant
to
explore
characters
with
grey
shades,
PeeCee
went
ahead
and
did
Akshay
Kumar-Kareena
Kapoor
Khan's
Aitraaz.
The
romantic
thriller
was
a
game
changer
for
the
actress
as
Priyanka
believed
that
the
film
taught
her
to
play
characters
with
conviction
and
not
judgement.
She
walked
away
with
several
awards
for
her
portrayal
of
an
ambitious
seductress.
Priyanka
was
impressive
as
a
femme
fatale
in
Vishal
Bharadwaj's
Saat
Khoon
Maaf.
Later
when
Priyanka
ventured
in
Hollywood,
there
too
the
actress
dabbled
with
negative
roles
in
films
like
Baywatch
and
We
Can
Be
Heroes.
Recently
in
a
virtual
interaction
with
Vinita
Dawra
Nangia
for
a
special
Times
Lit
Fest
session,
the
actress
opened
up
on
playing
negative
characters
in
both
the
industries.
Priyanka
said,
"I
guess
people
like
me
as
a
bad
girl.
Do
I
see
myself
as
a
bad
girl?
Sometimes!
Everyone
is
good
and
bad
sometimes."
In
the
same
interview,
Priyanka
also
spoke
at
length
about
her
process
as
an
actor
and
said
that
acting
is
all
about
reacting.
"The
first
one
is
predominantly
reacting,
and
actors
who
are
waiting
to
say
their
own
lines,
instead
of
listening
to
what
their
co-actors
are
saying,
will
always
seem
self-absorbed.
The
greatest
of
actors,
even
when
they
know
what
their
co-actor's
line
is,
have
to
really
listen
to
what
they're
saying,
because
you
have
to
react.
You
have
to
react
to
the
way
they
say
the
line,
to
what
they're
feeling
at
that
moment.
And
that
was
a
really
big
lesson
for
me,
very
early
on,
that
acting
is
reacting," ETimes
quoted
the
Dil
Dhadakne
Do
star
as
saying.
She
further
continued,
"And
the
second
was
that
there's
never
an
isolated
emotion.
As
a
human
being,
you
feel
multiple
things.
I'm
talking
to
you
right
now.
I
have
an
interview
after
this.
I
just
came
back
from
the
set.
I
want
to
try
and
find
something
to
eat.
I
have
to
get
briefed
about
some
other
things.
I'm
thinking
multiple
things
at
any
given
moment.
So,
when
I'm
acting
a
scene,
I
have
to
think
about
all
the
things
that
I'm
feeling
as
a
character.
Only
children
have
isolated
emotions.
Like
when
they're
angry,
they
don't
care
who
they
are
in
front
of.
They'll
have
a
tantrum
or
they're
upset
and
they'll
scream
at
the
mall.
Or
even
if
you're
outside
with
them,
they'll
just
cry.
Those
are
isolated
emotions.
But
as
we
grow
into
adults,
we
have
multiple
emotions
at
the
same
time.
That's
crucial
within
a
scene."
With
respect
to
Bollywood,
Priyanka
Chopra
recently
signed
Farhan
Akhtar's
directorial
Jee
Le
Zara
co-starring
Katrina
Kaif
and
Alia
Bhatt.
